I do get a low tranfer rate, but my kickstart takes, literally hours.  When I kickstart it on a port that is set to autonegotiate, it takes 15 minutes.  Our network is pretty convoluted, so I can't make my whole network autonegotiate.  I would like to make this work on a hardset 100baseTx-FD network.
